Cyprus
On 9 July 2009 Cyprus passed a new law, tightening up ineffective 2002 legislation, that will ban smoking in bars, restaurants, nightclubs and workplaces effective 1 January 2010. Since the introduction of the smoking ban on the 1 January 2010, compliance levels have been very encouraging. A spokesman for the restaurant & bar owners however have complained that the introduction of the smoking ban has led to a sharp drop in revenue but produced no evidence to support statement.
